All of the chains that she uses are hand crafted and only the highest quality sterling silver and copper are used. The only sterling silver Katie will use is .930 Argentium Sterling Silver Wire or .930 Argentium Sterling Silver Sheet. Copper can be found in many of Katie Mullins designs at Bonya. The 99.9% pure cooper is applied with either wax or acrylic to help keep the color bright and show off the natural characteristics.
Bonya creates personalized pieces of jewelry through the classes at Bonya, Katie helps teach you how you can do the same. The name, Bonya itself is creatively personal. As her step-grandson was learning to say “Nana”, the name “Bonya’ tumbled out of his mouth instead. When Katie started her artistic endeavor in 2006, the nickname her youngest family member gave her only seemed fitting for her business.
